What king of trans,
What kind or rear end,

Before we can tell you the specs we need to know what they are.

Install the TransGo Reprogramming kit and as long as the tranny is basically sound (regardless of shift quality, once it shifts it holds in each gear) you will have no problem with that level of power.

The weakest link in the rear is the spider gears in your carrier. I've seen half shot 305's (running on 7 cyls) blowing these out. The 2.73's arn't really a prime performance ratio and a posi is prolly something you'd want anyway...
